I have to admit that when Tony Martin died, I didn't know much more about
him than that he was a crooner who had been married to Cyd Charisse. I even
thought he was of Italian descent, but since his death I've learned that his
background is Polish.
Still, even though he was outside my notice, Tony Martin parlayed his
career into television and appeared on plenty of variety shows as well as
hosting his own program. But he also appeared as a member of the League of
Themselves in several TV series, enough so that he is eligible for membership in
the TV Crossover Hall Of Fame:
- 'The Donna Reed Show'
"Tony Martin Visits" (1961) - 'The George Burns
Show'
"Tony Martin Visits" (1958) - 'The Jack Benny Program'
"The Jam Session Show" (1954) - 'The Name of the Game'
"I Love You, Billy Baker: Parts 1 & 2" (1970)
So with his passing two months ago, I want to make sure he received this
small honor from Toobworld Central.....
BCnU!
